Description — Blazar 50mm T2.9 Anamorphic
The BLAZAR Great Joy 50mm T2.9 Anamorphic Lens is a prime lens designed for the Sony E-Mount, targeting the Cinema / Video camera system with full-frame image coverage. At a focal length of 50mm and a maximum aperture of T2.9, it delivers a solid light-gathering capability for controlled cinematic exposure. The lens is manual focus only, with no autofocus or image stabilization — a deliberate design choice aligned with professional video and film workflows where precise focus control is essential.

The 82mm filter thread provides compatibility with a broad range of filtration options.
